Unfortunately our requests for the founder to help fix the group have fallen on deaf ears. To all intents and purpose he's left us and the group to fall apart.

I still cant fix this, even though I am a Co-Founder, and so I have made us a new home. Please head over to and join up.

The submission rules are all the same, the only difference is that we now have staff who can vote and run the group. So hopefully you wont see any more of your submissions expire because there aren't enough admins to vote.

We can also hopefully get better critiques and competitions set up, now that we have control.

It's a sad day to say goodbye to #50mm-love, but we can make a better place.

Just to say good bye... I love my 50mm and I was really motivated but this one [link] was rejected for bad focus and bad composition. I really want to improve thanks to comments but here I don't know what to do ;-(ThanksThomas

I'm sorry to hear that happened,and even more sorry that it made you want to leave. The voting here has gotten pretty harsh recently, though we don't seem to have voters commenting as encouragingly as they perhaps should if they've neg-voted.But really, rather than those bad votes, do look at the fact that you also had 2 positive votes If you ever want to throw your work into the mix again, you're always welcome back. Try not to be knocked down so easily, you've got some good imagery going on in your gallery.

Ok, thank you for letting me know this positive side that I wasn't aware of (2 positives comments) I may come back when my level will have hit another sphere as for the moment this was my best...Thanks and keep going with the good work!Cheers
